How does the timing of big boss attacks work with regard to pressing CDs? For example, Oondasta's frill blast does 800k fire damage and so you need to use a CD. Do you have time to wait for the attack and then press or do you have to anticipate?

I usually rely on DBM timers but for some abilities, they just tell you when the ability is off CD, not when it is going to be used.

I know that when tanking Elegon's breath, I seem to have enough time to press shield barrier while the breath animation shows before the damage hits. But with some other bosses, like Zonozz in DS, it was more like if you did not anticipate and use a CD before the breath, you'd be caught.

Thanks, that's good to know. It's strange having to rely on timers - it's like Blizzard are designing an encounter around the use of an add-on.

I believe all encounters since TBC rely on the whole raid (or at least most of it) using a boss addon.

Maybe, but 90% of the fights become 100 times easier when you get a big flashy "BAD STUFF MOVE" in the middle of your screen as soon as you step into something, before even taking damage, or "BAD DEBUFF WATCH OUT" in the istant you get a important debuff.
